Apr 14, 2020 Back in the early 90's, a fella who called himself "Jesus the Prince of Peace" was a patient at Anomaly State Hospital.He told me that if I opened the door and let him out, he would make love to his girlfriend and there would be "worldly peace".I told the patient that as much as I would really really like to, I had to keep my job.I wondered out loud if I prevented world peace for the sake of my job.Who knows?I mean: really?

He was extremely nice and didn't expect any special treatment other than to be kept away from reporters as he was leaving.Not a celebrity but I took care of a state congressman and he was a butthole and treated me like I was an idiot servant, rather than an educated professional.
